ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Message from the Honorary Chairman

The upheavals in Thailand last year were particularly traumatic, for the Thai people as well as for the business sector, and it would be foolish if we were to try and shrug it off. But as a company we suffered only a minor downwards fluctuation overall, and I believe this reveals the underlying strength of our business. Further, the fast rebound of the industry shows how strong Thailand is as a tourism and business destination. Following our policy of asset-light expansion, during this year we have acquired 20 new management contracts, taking our total number of properties to 45. One of the most significant events of the previous year had been the opening of the Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya, and we have followed that during the course of this year with the opening of the Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket, a five-star property that has immediately become one of the landmark hotels at Karon Beach, helped very much by the fact that it is the only prime resort built on the ocean-side of the beach road. The opening of this property brings our total portfolio on the island of Phuket to six, with a variety of hotel types to cater for a broad spread across the upper end of the tourist market. This is indicative of the way in which our growth strategy in Thailand is being pursued. On Samui we now have five properties, with another resort on the island of Koh Pha Ngan, a short ride away by speedboat. Within the Hua Hin area we have three resorts, and in Chiang Mai we also have three. Our Centara Boutique Collection grew rapidly during the course of the year, expanding from one property to 12. This fast growth was partly due to the addition of the X2 and Away brands, exactly the kind of intimate-scale designer resorts that we had in mind under the original concept. With a broad choice of destinations now available, we are able to promote the Boutique Collection intensively. We have also opened, under management contract, the first of our Centra brand properties, the Centra Ashlee Hotel Patong. Designed to deliver Centara style to lower-end four-star without the facilities that would be expected of the Centara brand, we believe there is great potential in this concept. Phuket, we feel, is the ideal launching ground for Centra. Overseas, our presence is being strengthened in accordance with our strategy, and we now have 7 properties under contract. Our Moksha Himalaya Spa Resort opened at the end of 2009 and has established itself well. In the Maldives, the Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives is also now established and will be joined by a second Maldives resort during the course of 2011. We have signed a management contract for a hotel in Vietnam, and in the Philippines we have contracts for two properties, a four-star hotel in Manila and a five-star resort in Boracay. Given our growth during what has been a difficult year, and the overall operating results and profits that we have achieved, I do not think it misplaced to say we all have the greatest confidence in the year to come, and beyond. It remains for me to thank you, our shareholders, directors, management and staff, and of course our valued clients for all your support and faith in us.

Vanchai Chirathivat The Honorary Chairman

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Message from the Chairman of the Board The past year proved to be a particularly challenging one for Thailandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hotel industry, with the political unrest in the country having a strong negative effect on tourist and business traveller arrivals, even at a time when the international situation was beginning to improve. Despite the difficulties the company managed to post an overall increase, primarily due to the sustained and strong growth of the food business, while its hotels business showed only a slight decline across the year. With most of the domestic turmoil confined to Bangkok, the decrease in hotel occupancy was primarily due to the lower than projected performance results of the Centara Grand at CentralWorld, the demonstrations that were centred on and around the Rajaprasong intersection causing a drastic loss of both occupancy and food related business. Another cause of reduced revenue during the year was the partial closure for major renovations of the Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok, at Ladprao. This however was planned for, and the hotel has now fully reopened to a very favourable response. Aside from these two properties, other hotels within the company have registered strong performance, which has helped the overall results to be above the industry average. Notable amongst these has been the Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya, which produced very positive results despite an overall reduction in tourism business for Pattaya itself. Our food business continues to increase, with the year seeing all previous growth records for Central Restaurants Group (CRG) being exceeded by a wide margin. Revenues increased by 15.4 percent over the previous year, an achievement derived from strategic growth plans that included new outlets and network expansion coupled with sustained marketing and sales promotion campaigns. CRG now has a total of 512 stores and 10 brands, including the new brands of Chabuton, Cold Stone Creamery, RYU Shabu Shabu, The Terrace, and CafĂŠ Andonand. Reviewing the year, I can say with confidence that although Thailand has been through some extraordinarily difficult times, the company has under the circumstances performed strongly. Further, we hold very positive views on the future of the hospitality industry both here and abroad, and feel that adversity serves to make us a stronger company. The great support of our staff, management team and directors has been crucial during this period, and I offer my sincerest thanks and appreciation to everyone. I also wish to extend my deepest thanks for the support of our business partners and clients, as well as our shareholders.

Performance of Individual Hotels CENTARA GRAND & BANGKOK CONVENTION CENTRE AT CENTRALWORLD Business started off very well at the beginning of 2010 but took a drastic downturn when the United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD or Red Shirts) started their political demonstrations on March 12 at the Ratchaprasong intersection resulting in the evacuation of all hotel guests on May 12 as well as the full closure of Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre at CentralWorld on May 19. The hotel then re-opened on June 1, 2010. Business in Bangkok picked up slowly after the re-opening, since various travel warnings to Bangkok were issued by many countries throughout the World and the State of Emergency was only lifted in late December. The RedSky bar on Level 56 was completed as at the end of December 2010. SOFITEL CENTARA GRAND BANGKOK The hotel suffered a decline in overall business in 2010 due to the protracted and violent Red shirt demonstrations throughout the city between March to May, severely affecting all businesses – both rooms and food & beverage. Major renovations in the hotel continued throughout the year, with 9 guestroom floors being completed as well as the new Club Lounge, the Blue Sky Bar, the Chatuchak Café and the mezzanine floor functions rooms. Several major events were held at the hotel during the year, including Miss Thailand Universe, Thai Super Model and Miss Teen Thailand; we were also honoured by visits from several members of the Royal Family.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Overview Hotels & Resorts CENTARA GRAND BEACH RESORT & VILLAS KRABI 2010 was a year of many unfavourable changes and challenges that resulted in lower revenues throughout the year. In early April we were faced with the volcanic ash clouds over Europe, followed by the ongoing turmoil in Bangkok between March to May; and the year then ended with cancellations as a result of the heavy snow falls over Europe in December. The entire year saw a drop in our average occupancy together with the total revenues Baht 350 million as a result of lower occupancy, despite a higher Average Room Rate than the year before. A number of refurbishment projects were completed: namely the Spa & Gym and the Lotus main kitchen. The concerted efforts towards our environmental protection program earned the hotel the ‘Earthcheck’ Green Globe Silver Award status. Tremendous efforts to improve our service standards in order to reach a higher guest satisfaction level were undertaken, which resulted in a rating of ‘90% satisfaction’ on our internal e-questionnaire survey undertaken throughout the year. CENTARA GRAND BEACH RESORT SAMUI Thailand in general and especially Samui as a key resorts destination - has attracted less visitors than in previous years due to the global economic downturn and the local political turmoil. Rates had to be lowered in order to attract more guests; and even though all possible corrective measures were taken, we still could not meet the budget with both occupancy and revenues being below set targets. Nevertheless, the prime location of the Centara Grand Beach Samui remains its best selling point, being right in the middle of the most popular Chaweng beach locale yet remaining relatively private at the same time. For 2010, amongst our direct competitors, the Centara Grand Beach Resort Samui still remained “number one” in terms of both occupancy and average room rate. At the end of 2010, the Centara Grand Beach Resort Samui generated total revenues of Baht 405 million with a gross operating profit margin of 50%. Our association with Earth Check and the recently awarded silver status is showing our keen concern for the environment protection; and we remain strongly committed to the environmental issues. SOFITEL CENTARA GRAND RESORT & VILLAS HUA HIN Both the key factors of occupancy and average rates have dropped slightly in 2010 compared to 2009 as a result of the slow-down in business caused by the prolonged political unrest during the 2nd Quarter. The hotel renovation started in June 2010 with the closure of our Garden wing, taking out almost 30 % from our room inventory up to mid December. The impact of the lower room-occupancy also reflected negatively on the food & beverage and other revenues. However, the overall performance of the hotel has resulted in another excellent year, with total revenues and RevPAR well above its competitors. As with almost every year, various prestigious events took place at the Sofitel Centara Hua Hin such as the Hua Hin Jazz Festival and the 8th Hua Hin Vintage Car Parade in December. The second ASEAN Summit also took place in Hua Hin in early April, when the hotel welcomed the official delegation of the Republic of Vietnam together with its Prime Minister, HE Mr. Nguyen Tan Dung. CENTARA GRAND MIRAGE BEACH RESORT PATTAYA After a successful Grand Opening of the Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya in November 2009, the hotel had its first full year of operation in 2010. Despite the height of the political unrest in Bangkok, cancellations from overseas markets were received; however, the domestic Thai market made up for these cancellations. The Resort has established itself in becoming a destination in itself, setting itself apart from competitors and constantly achieving room rates that are amongst the highest in the city of Pattaya. Total revenues were Baht 777 million, with an average occupancy of 76% being achieved. CENTARA GRAND BEACH RESORT PHUKET A Soft opening took place on October 17, 2010 while the Grand opening ceremony is scheduled in second quarter of 2554 From its first day of operations, the resort enjoyed a high occupancy rate and an average room rate comparable to or higher than its direct competitors. We received very positive feedback from our guests regarding the location, the architecture of the buildings, as well as the guestrooms interior reflect a décor in fitting with the resort’s Sino-Portuguese design. ANNUAL REPORT 2010

With a partial inventory of rooms available to sell and a number of introductory rates, we ended the year with occupancy of 54.27% and average room rate Baht 6,575. CENTARA GRAND ISLAND RESORT & SPA MALDIVES Centara Hotels & Resorts’ first property in the Maldives, the Centara Grand Island Resort (CIRM) opened in a very competitive market environment yet our first year of operations can be considered a moderate success. After a tumultuous opening we have achieved an excellent reputation both as an employer and as a hotel-operator in the Maldives. Overwhelmingly positive guests feedback has placed us in a very strong position among our direct competitors there. The resort has achieved the most positive first year of operations of an opening resort in the Maldives when compared to previous new hotel openings; thus once again assisting to secure a strong position in this market. While we did not meet our projected occupancy levels for the year by the end of 2010, the Resort generated total revenue of USD 14 million (or Baht 443 million) with a Gross Operating Profit margin of 36%. CENTARA VILLAS SAMUI As with all resorts in Thailand, the Centara Villas Samui received some negative impact from the demonstrations in Bangkok between April and May of 2010. Situated on its own picturesque beach and offering easy access to several diving spots and to the infamous Butterfly Garden, Centara Villas Samui still is a popular destination amongst domestic and international travellers. Centara Villas Samui finished the year with total revenues of Baht 90.1 million and an occupancy rate of 63.4%. CENTARA VILLAS PHUKET Centara Villas Phuket’s performance in 2010 was challenged by a combination of factors such as the political instability in the country, the weak economies in our key feeder markets, the strengthening Baht and natural phenomenon which paralyzed air traffic in Europe. We have managed to minimize our exposure. Our average room rate (at Baht 3,470) continued to grow, and total revenues of Baht 80.1 million were achieved at an occupancy rate of 58%. CENTARA KATA RESORT PHUKET Despite the economic and political challenges during in the first part of 2010, Centara Kata Resort ended the year with a fairly good growth. Our main business partner ensured solid occupancy throughout the high season and never ceased its direct charter flights when the political crisis was at its peak. During the more challenging low season, we also benefited from the support of the Australian and Asian markets to top up the Scandinavian arrivals. For the year, the occupancy rate reached 77.4%, with total revenue of Baht 144.5 million. Other major performance indicators were in-line with - if not above – plans, resulting in an excellent overall performance under initially challenging circumstances.

CENTARA KARON RESORT PHUKET Thailand in general and Phuket in specifically - continued to recover from the worldwide recession and political unrests that which originated in Bangkok this year. Phuket as a destination has attracted more visitors over the years and it is still gaining momentum. A record of total of 3.5 million arrivals in Phuket was achieved – or equal to a 22% year on year increase. As the leading 4-star hotel in Karon in regard to quality and room inventory, together with having a strategic location in Phuket, the resort was able to stand out from the competition in term of revenues and occupancy rate. Facility improvements throughout the year added to our reputation and overall guests satisfaction. For the final result of the financial year 2010, the resort generated total revenues of Baht 266 million and a Gross Operating Profit of 46.8% with an occupancy rate of 60%. CENTARA MAE SOT HILL RESORT Thailand in general and especially Mae Sot as a destination had attracted fewer guests than a year ago, with the major impact on business coming from the domestic political and economic situation, together with other external factors relating to the border closure and fighting between Myanmar and Korean troops. A major influence on our performance was the lower and more competitive prices in Mae Sot combined with an increase in available room products. However, we have continued to maintain the standard of our services and the quality of the resort facilities in order to satisfy our clients needs and expectations.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

At the end of year 2010, the Centara Mae Sot Hill Resort generated total revenues of Baht 30.2 million with a Gross Operating Profit margin of 16.16% NOVOTEL CENTARA HAT YAI Throughout the year, Thailand’s southern-most major City and trading region flourished as a result of expanding rubber and related industries. The trade at the Thai and Malaysian border of Sadao, Songkhla surged by at least 50% with all business sectors in Hat Yai and especially in the border towns are enjoying the same level of growth. The incremental number of Malaysian and Singaporean visitors to Had Yai has increased due to the reinstatement of Tiger Airways flights from Singapore to Hat Yai as well as because of Air Asia’s launching Kualalumpur to Hat Yai service that started in the second quarter with good passenger load factors. As this point, the hotel has resulted in better performance this year. A Gross operating profit of Baht 53 million has meant a growth of 12% year on year, with total revenues of Baht 147 million – compared with the budgeted revenues of Baht 142 million. However, in closing the hotel for 18 days as a result of the massive flooding in the city on November 1, has caused the loss of Baht 8 million in total revenues - excluding the loss in business opportunities and assets (of approximately Baht 20 million). The Government continues to intensively promote MICE in Hat Yai and at the same time making Hat Yai as a regional hub. Thus, with strong support from the current leisure guests and corporate clients, this is expected to be another good year for the hotel. Group Business Development by Centara International Management (CIM) The year 2010 was a landmark year for Group Development. There were numerous expansions of new hotels and resorts into both existing and new markets took place. Group Development has added 2,000 rooms and 21 new properties in 5 countries - including 17 new hotels in Thailand, bringing the total number of rooms to 7,400 rooms and the number of hotels to 45 hotels and resorts – thus the total number of properties almost doubled and the room count has increased by 40% when compared to last year.

Group Marketing The year 2010 was a very busy one, especially the first quarter and at the same time an unpredictable one through the most severe external influences, creating a highly demanding and challenging environment for the marketing operations of Centara Hotels & Resorts. The promising start to the year was soon curtailed to some extent by the civil unrest in Bangkok, which had a negative impact on our immediate business and also on our advance bookings, and consequently our low-season months suffered from lower demand than had been anticipated. The fast growth in the number of properties within the Centara brand did however ensure that, in addition to the intense marketing work necessary to overcome the fallout from the political crisis and the Ash cloud situation in Europe, the expansion of the group was fully supported by highly active marketing campaigns. One of the most important developments during the year was the launch of our boutique brand ‘Centara Boutique Collection’. This has meant creating an additional marketing strategy aimed at a precise segment of the market, namely the independent-minded traveller who desires an intimate resort that does not have a chain hotel image. That said the association of CENTARA underpins and assures quality and consistency throughout our hotels and resorts both in Thailand and further afield. Another important step for the marketing operation was the launch of a dedicated social media department, allowing us to position and promote ourselves to an increasingly large and influential on-line audience. Our concept is quickly proving to be a success, and we have gained a very large number of loyal followers in a very short time. We have further expanded our international sales network, adding Germany and Russia to our worldwide operation which now covers the UK, Australia, Middle East, Japan, Hong Kong and India, and which through our team of dedicated representatives is highly active in bringing us much closer to our important markets and customers on a day-to-day basis. Our website has become an even more proactive one, allowing us to promote special offers and packages on-line. The increase in web traffic and activity has caused us to undertake a major upgrading of the website, which will go live before the middle of 2011. The new site will be brand-specific, with a corporate webpage linking all brands and properties, and the latest software technology in the market utilised to ensure that Centara Hotels & Resorts has a truly modern internet presence. From all this activity it can be seen that the continued growth of the group both at home and overseas has kept the marketing operation extremely busy, and this increase in activity has allowed us to expand the sales and marketing team and to create some new and dedicated departments. As a result we are better equipped to carry out our duties with more focus and attention on specific areas of activity, especially our domestic marketing presence which will see a considerable expansion in the coming year. We enter the coming year therefore with great confidence in the future of the industry and in the continuing expansion of Centara Hotels & Resorts.

Human Resources Based upon the belief that human resources are one of the crucial factors leading to the development of the organization, Centara Hotels & Resorts is committed to continue its people development strategy through a variety of training programmes and activities as outlined below. •

Up until the past year 2010, Centara Hotels & Resorts have had 8 batches of the Management Development Programme (MDP) students, from which almost 50 competent managers have been produced for the Company. Prior to the completing this course, they were all required to undergo both theoretical classes and practical training, domestically and internationally, for the duration of one year. The purpose of the programme is to develop skills at the managerial level for those employees who show high potential and readiness to become a manager for the Company in its future expansion plans.

•

Apart from the MDP, Centara Hotels & Resorts offers employees at every level the opportunity to enhance both their managerial knowledge and skills through attending a 6-months programme called the “Fast Track Career Development Programme”. Almost 60 employees from the latest batch succeeded in this programme as they eventually gained a promotion.

•

Additionally, since 2009, Centara Hotels & Resorts has established a network relationship with the Wimol Business Administration College and the Ratchapruek College in a programme called the “Dual Vocational Training Programme”. This programme is intended to give the students an opportunity to undergo a practical training in the areas of the kitchen, food & beverage, housekeeping and accounting. There were a total of 26 students who have already completed the programme; and at present there are 10 students undergoing the same programme.

•

Besides the above mentioned training and development programmes, Centara Hotels & Resorts have had a collaborative network with a number of domestic and overseas institutes (such as, the Glion Institute of Higher Education in Switzerland, Silpakorn University and Kasetsart University) where the programme of hotel and tourism manage-

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Performance of Central Restaurant Group ment programme is offered. The opportunity is given to students who wish to undergo an internship in front-ofthe-house and/or back-of-the-house areas as well as an internship as a management trainee. •

Under the sponsorship of UNICEF, Centara Hotels & Resorts offers a Youth Career Development Programme (YCDP) with the goals of advocating the sustainable careers amongst Thai youth and preventing them from being sexually exploited or lured into the sex industry, particularly in the high-risk regions, i.e. Northern, Southern and Northeastern region where we obtained YCDP trainees from various public welfare schools. Centara Hotels & Resorts has undertaken this Programme since 2003; and currently we have 93 employees obtained through the Programme.

•

And, we also have both internal and external training, whereby properties within Centara Hotels & Resorts have arranged a number of internal training courses and seminars, as well as encouraged our employees to attend external courses, in order to enhance their knowledge and skills which can then be applied in their working situations.

•

Centara Hotels & Resorts has also been granted a training budget by the Tourism Council of Thailand under the project called “Tonkla Archeep”. And because of this, we are able to arrange various additional training activities for the enhancement of our employees’ skills and capabilities

Overview of the Food Services Business Division Year 2010 was a great success for the CENTRAL RESTAURANTS GROUP (CRG). The Company exceeded its challenging goals and broke all growth records. While facing such inauspicious situations as the global recession and related uncertainties, the local political unrest and the major flooding at the end of the year, CGR, with a total of 512 stores and 10 brands (including the new Chabuton, Cold Stone Creamery, RYU shabu shabu, The Terrace and Café Andonand brands), managed to increase its total revenues to Baht 5.2 billion or by 15.4% when compared to 2009. This great achievement is derived from the Company’s effective strategic plans as well as its flexible operations. In addition, such favourable factors as the revival of the global economy, the Government’s economic stimulus policies, and private sector investments have reflected in a high level of consumer confidence and increased consumer spending.

Performance of Central Restaurant Group MISTER DONUT Mister Donut - the undoubted leader in the donut market segment with more than 60% market share – has strengthened its leading position by conducting in-depth consumer analysis to enable it to effectively respond to the right needs, as well as by sustaining its competitive advantages, through continued product innovation and differentiation, effective brand communications and promotions, and store coverage. Mister Donut achieved as much as an 11.1% year of year increase in total revenues. Distinctive product concepts were continually introduced throughout the year, such as Mister Donut “Sushido”, Pon De Ring Coffee, Fruito Berry and the new exciting product campaign Choco Mania by the year end. Mister Donut added some 21 new stores during 2010 to have a total of 245 stores as at the end of the year, with a presence in 65 provinces. KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN (KFC) KFC, the indisputable leading brand in Thailand’s Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) market, currently operates a total number of 413 stores throughout Thailand in 2010. Approximately 40% of these - or 160 stores - are operated by CRG, while the remaining 253 stores are operated by YUM Thailand (the parent franchisor of KFC). In 2010, KFC has made the highest recorded sales by achieving a 20% increase from 2009. The brand continued its focus on offering a “meaningful menu varieties” strategy to satisfy consumers’ taste and preference in all age groups; and it expanded into the non-fried category, particularly the Burger market, to fulfil the unmet needs of health-conscious consumers under the concept “Live the Real Tasty Life”. New menus offerings were constantly introduced during the year, starting with the Krispy Fish Burger, WingZ Tom Yum Noodle, Green Curry Rice, and a new bakery snack concept, Egg Tarts, by the year-end with tremendous success. Besides menu offerings variety, KFC emphasizes on the relevancy of its target consumers’ lifestyle as part of KFC’s new positioning, whereby newly opened stores were designed with an inviting atmosphere and ambience, and are also equipped with WIFI services. AUNTIE ANNE’S In 2010, Auntie Anne’s also achieved exceptional results and grew its revenue by 19.1% year of year. The brand has already retained its leading position in the soft pretzel market for the 13th consecutive year. This successful mission partly involved the new products introduction of both light meals and beverages. These products were rolled out consistently throughout the year under the “Auntie Anne’s All Day Delicious” theme concept - starting with the Ham & Cheese Pretzel Roll at the beginning of the year, followed by the Golden Spring Deluxe, the Chick’n Cheese Pretzel Roll, and lastly the Chicken Pretzel Swirl at the end of the year. ANNUAL REPORT 2010

In addition to light meals products, Auntie Anne’s also introduced several beverage products to encourage increased brand awareness. In addition to introducing new products, Auntie Anne’s has also expanded its selling channel through its airlines business alliance - NOK AIR. Additionally, with its strong character of Auntie Anne’s membership programme, Auntie Anne’s has continued to effectively build a closer relationship with its customers. The brand initiated several membership activities throughout the year, which were very well-accepted by its members. In 2010, Auntie Anne’s maintained its market coverage with 83 stores throughout Thailand. PEPPER LUNCH In 2010, Pepper Lunch, a popular fast casual Japanese steak restaurant, improved its revenues by 40% from previous year with the total of 7 stores. Pepper Lunch’s strategy continued to focus on three key areas; attractive menu offerings variety, clear brand identity and communications, and Japanese origin identification under the concept “The Original Japanese DIY Teppan Restaurant”. New menu offerings and promotional campaigns were rolled out during the year; such as, the “Noodle of the World” that included Seafood pasta, Spaghetti meat sauce, Salmon pasta cream sauce etc., the “Yaki Fever” campaign that incorporated Yakiniku Beef Pepper Rice, Yaki Kurobuta steak and the “Yaki Curry” campaign which involved Udon Pork Curry and also Hamburger Curry Rice. By successfully executing all of those campaigns throughout the year, Pepper Lunch’s Japanese origin concept has been reinforced and more importantly it effectively differentiated Pepper Lunch from other Quick Service Restaurant chains as well as other Japanese restaurants. BEARD PAPA’S Beard Papa’s, the “World’s Best Cream Puffs” has grown considerably in 2010. During this year, Beard Papa’s has introduced such products as the Koromitsu Cream Puffs, Japanese Matcha Cream Puffs, CoCo Choux Chocolate Cream Puff and range of combo sets. Beard Papa’s has rapidly expanded its stores coverage in order to reach more customers as well as create increased brand awareness. It now has a total of 10 stores. CHABUTON In March 2010, CRG has brought a new Japanese brand into the Thai market ie: the “CHABUTON” Ramen, which is a “TV Champion chef’s Japanese Ramen restaurant”. This premium ramen brand is supervised by Mr. Yasuji Morizumi who was named as “King of Ramen” from TV Champion programme shown on a Tokyo TV Station. He is also the owner of the first Ramen shop that appeared in the Michelin Guide LA., widely-known as the world’s most respected restaurant guidebook. Chabuton Ramen offers several varieties of signature ramen menu offerings that are of high quality and superior in taste, including the Tonkotsu Ramen, the Shio Tonkotsu Ramen, the Shoyu Ramen, and the Shoyu Zaru Ramen. Since the first store opened at Siam Square in March 2010, Chabuton Ramen rapidly gained popularity from the targets consumers, and has shown an outstanding performance. Thus, the second store was finally opened in November 2010 at the Central World 6th floor and Chabuton Ramen now has a total of 2 stores – with both being situated in prime retail locations. COLD STONE CREAMERY On March 14th, 2010, CRG introduced the Thai consumers the super-premium ice cream that was first served in the United States and is now popular around the world – known as the “Cold Stone Creamery”. The brand, with its unique concept of custom-creations and a signature serving style that features electrifying dance moves, has been the No.1 best-selling ice cream brand in the United States. It has served up the ultimate indulgence like no other to ice cream lovers around the world. In fact, it has been regarded by many consumers worldwide as the world’s finest ice cream. A solid proof of this popularity is the number of its outlets worldwide.

Currently, there are

1,450 branches located in the U.S., Canada, Scandinavia, Mexico, the Middle East, and Asia. Thailand is the 15th country in the world, and 6th in Asia, to experience the unparalleled taste of Cold Stone Creamery – with now a total of 4 stores that were opened during 2010. RYU SHABU SHABU RYU Shabu Shabu, CRG’s own-developed brand, was officially launched in March 2010 at Siam Square Soi 3. The shabushabu Japanese style with its “all you can eat” concept, is customarily served with traditional gourmet soups such as the Katsuobushi Dashi soup and the Osaka-styled Kombu Dashi soup.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

The inspiration for RYU Shabu Shabu comes from shabu shabu stores from Osaka, Japan. Presented in an “all you can eat concept”, its buffet line serves an all-inclusive menu consisting of some of Osaka’s most famous dishes including sushi boxes and a large variety of sushi. What makes RYU Shabu Shabu unique is the restaurant’s intent to preserve and offer the savory delights of the traditional Japanese Osaka-styled buffet through gourmet soups and dipping sauces. RYU offers the Katsuobushi Dashi Soup (made with dried skipjack tuna) and the Kombu Dashi Soup (a clear soup consisting of pork broth and dried kelp) as well as a selection of three types of dipping sauces – Gomadare (white sesame), Ponzu (citrus-flavored) and Red Sauce (suki sauce). RYU Shabu Shabu has gained popularity among the targeted consumers, and has shown satisfactory results. THE TERRACE One of CRG’s strategic directions is the own-brand development and CRG foresees the growth potential of “The Terrace” in this market. The concept is a Thai casual dining and restaurant that is operated by the Central Department Store. As a result, in 2010 CRG decided to acquire The Terrace – together with its brand name and the food recipes, in order to undertake its business management and business expansion authorization in Thailand and also worldwide. Under CRG’s management, the brand has been repositioned under the new concept of “Feel the Terrace Feel the Greenery” by changing its brand logo, store design, menu offerings, staff uniforms etc. There are total of 6 restaurants, whereby two outlets have already been transformed into this new concept – namely at Central Pinklao branch and Central Chidlom branch. The repositioning of the remaining restaurants will follow gradually. CAFÉ ANDONAND Café Andonand was originally established in Tokyo, Japan. The name Andonand was created by merging the Spanish word “andando”, which means development, the Japanese word “nandomo”, which means consistently, and the word “and” which refers to you and us, together. With this perfect combination, Andonand means “to create endless happiness for a never-ending relationship between you and us”. The meaning is reflected in all of its menu items through the attention the brand devotes to each business process, ie: Andonand selects only the finest coffee beans from the best plantations in the world and find the best ingredients for its donuts, which are served hot; and especially the attention given to its signature dish, the “Espresso Affogato” that is the secret recipe, which was acquired originally from Café Andonand in Japan. Café Andonand’s first store in Thailand opened in November 2010 at Central World 6th floor. It is the first Café Andonand store outside Japan.

Business Development Thailand’s retailing continued to show improvement in 2010 despite the global economic uncertainties and local political turmoil. The closure of the Ratchaprasong intersection by the anti-government protesters during April-May 2010 disrupted the operations of a large numbers of retailers in the area as well as the tourism industry. The prolonged demonstrations had prevented many visitors from entering the surrounding shopping centre. Nevertheless, the Government’s economic stimulation policies, together with a coordinated effort to improve consumer confidence helped to stimulate consumer spending. Leading retail chains continue to perform ongoing expansion together with aggressive marketing, advertising, loyalty schemes and product innovation – all to facilitate and to support strong ongoing business growth. The Retail and Wholesale 2007 Act still plays an important roll in limiting the expansion of the leading/large retailers in 2010. The Act caused the big change in Thailand’s retail market sector - not only in the way tenants expand their business but also in the ranking of the country’s largest hypermarket chains. As a result this Act the long-standing market dominance by a UK retail giant was broken. In terms of CRG, 47 new stores were opened countrywide and across all brands despite of the strong negative effects caused by the economic uncertainties, political turmoil and the Retail and Wholesale 2007 Act. CRG strengthened its leadership in Thailand’s F&B business by adding 5 more new brands to the market which includes Chabuton, Cold Stone Creamery, Ryu Shabu Shabu, The Terrace and Café Andonand. CRG’s stores expansion plan will continue with caution, whereby only strategic locations will be selected in order to ensure a successful CRG business expansion along with overall good performance results together with the launching of the new brands.

Audit Report of Certified Public Accountant

To the Shareholders of Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited I have audited the accompanying consolidated and separate balance sheets as at 31 December 2010, and the related statements of income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended of Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited, respectively. The Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s management is responsible for the correctness and completeness of information presented in these financial statements. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audits. I did not audit the financial statements of an associate. The carrying value of the investments in this associate in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2010 was Baht 26 million and the consolidated share of its net loss for the year then ended was Baht 61 million. The financial statements of this associate were audited by another auditor whose report has been furnished to me and my opinion, in so far as it relates to the amounts included for this associate, is based solely on the report of the another auditor. The consolidated and separate financial statements of Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2009 were audited by another auditor whose report dated 18 February 2010 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements. I conducted my audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audits and the report of the other auditor referred to in the first paragraph provide a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, based on my audits and the report of the another auditor, the consolidated and separate financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial positions as at 31 December 2010 and the results of operations and cash flows for the year then ended of Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited and its subsidiaries, and of Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited, respectively, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Financial Instruments Disclosure and Presentation

The Group has adopted the revised Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements (revised 2009), which was issued by the FAP during 2010 and effective on 26 May 2010. The adoption of the revised framework does not have any material impact on the consolidated and separate financial statements. The FAP has issued during 2010 a number of new and revised TFRS which are not currently effective and have not been adopted in the preparation of these financial statements. These new and revised standards and interpretations are disclosed in note 33. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with TFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have the most significantly effect on the amount recognized in the financial statements is included the following note: Note 11 Note 18

The estimated useful lives of assets Provision for guarantee payments

Significant accounting policies

(a)

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements relate to the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”) and the Group’s interest in associates and jointly-controlled entities.

Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Group has the power, directly or indirectly, to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Although, the Company’s holdings in Thai Pattana Fund II (“Fund”) both directly and indirectly are 23.92%, the Company has control over the fund since the Company has authority to control and make decisions through the fund directors. The Company, therefore has treated the said funds as a subsidiary.

Associates Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting power of another entity. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the income, expenses and equity movements of associates, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in an associate, the Group’s

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

Jointly-controlled entities Jointly-controlled entities are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement. The consolidated financial statements include the Group’s share of the total recognized gains and losses of jointly controlled entities on an equity accounted basis, from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases. When the Group’s share of losses exceeds its interest in a jointly controlled entity, the Group’s carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the jointly-controlled entities.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income or expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(b)

Foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated to Thai Baht at the foreign exchange rates ruling at that date. Foreign exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in the statement of income. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at cost in foreign currencies are translated to Thai Baht using the foreign exchange rates ruling in the dates of the transactions.

Foreign entities The revenues and expenses of foreign entities are translated to Thai Baht at rates approximating the foreign exchange rates ruling at the dates of the transactions.

(c)

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to interest rate arising from operational, financing and investment activities. Derivative financial instruments are not used for trading purposes. However, derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting are accounted for as trading instruments.

(d) Hedging Hedge of interest rates Interest differentials under swap arrangements are accrued and recorded as adjustments to the interest expense relating to the hedged loans.

(e)

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances, call deposits and highly liquid short-term investments. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand are a component of financing activities for the purpose of the statement of cash flows.

(f)

Trade and other adccounts receivable

Trade and other accounts receivable are stated at their invoice value less allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is assessed primarily on analysis of payment histories and future expectations of customer payments. Bad debts are written off when incurred.

(g)

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (FIFO method) and net realisable value. A subsidiary engaged in the manufacturing and sale of ice-cream products values its inventories at the lower of cost (moving average method) and net realisable value. An allowance is made for all deteriorated, damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventories.

(h)

Investments

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly-controlled entities. Investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly-controlled entities in the separate financial statements of the Company are accounted for using the cost method. Investments in associates and jointly-controlled entities in the consolidated financial statements are accounted for using the equity method.

Investment in equity securities Marketable equity securities, other than those securities held for trading or intended to be held to maturity, are classified as available-for-sale investments. Available-for-sale investments are, subsequent to initial recognition, stated at fair value, and changes therein, other than impairment losses and foreign currency differences on available-for-sale monetary items, are recognised directly in equity. Impairment losses and foreign exchange differences are recognised in the statement of income. When these investments are derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised directly in equity is recognised in the statement of income.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries (i)

Property, plant and equipment

Owned assets Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses except for property, plant and equipment which are stated at their revalued amounts. The revalued amount is the fair value determined on the basis of the property’s existing use at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Leased assets Leases in terms of which the Group substantially assumes all the risk and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. Property, plant and equipment acquired by way of finance leases is capitalised at the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly to the statement of income.

Revalued assets Revaluations are performed by independent professional valuers with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount of these assets does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the reporting date. Any increase in value, on revaluation, is credited to equity under the heading ‘revaluation surplus’ unless it offsets a previous decrease in value recognised in the statement of income in respect of the same asset. A decrease in value is recognised in the statement of income to the extent it exceeds an increase previously recognised in equity in respect of the same asset. Upon disposal of a revalued asset, any related revaluation surplus is transferred from equity to the statement of income and is taken into account in calculating the gain or loss on disposal. Major property, plant and equipment of the Company and certain subsidiaries are recorded at revalued amounts, as revalued by an independent professional valuers. Property, plant and equipment acquired subsequent to the appraisal dates and the property and equipment of the other subsidiaries are recorded at cost. The Company and subsidiaries have a policy to revalue property and equipment whenever the fair value of the revalued assets changes significantly.

Depreciation Depreciation is charged to the statement of income on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each part of an item of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Land improvements Building and improvements Machinery and equipment Furniture, fixtures and office equipment Vehicles

10 5 - 40 5 - 10 5 - 12.5 5 - 10

years years years years years

Building and equipment stated at revalued amounts are depreciated using the straight-line method over their remaining useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lease terms. Hotel operating equipment is charged to the statement of income in accounting period in which it is written off. No depreciation is provided on freehold land and assets under construction.

(j)

Leasehold rights

Leasehold rights are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.

Amortisation Leasehold rights are amortised on a straight-line method over the remaining terms of the leases. Leasehold rights under sub-lease agreement of Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok Hotel and sub-lease agreement of hotel land and building of Central World Hotel, which are operating leases, are amortised on the straight-line basis adjusted by constant compound growth rate.

(k)

Intangible assets

Goodwill Goodwill in a business combination represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired. Negative goodwill in a business combination represents the excess of the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets acquired over the cost of acquisition. The Group has changed its accounting policy for goodwill with effect from 1 January 2008 as follows: Acquisitions prior to 1 January 2008 Goodwill and negative goodwill was stated at cost from the date of initial recognition and amortised over its estimated useful life of 10 years. On 1 January 2008, the Group discontinued amortisation of goodwill. The remaining balance is subject to testing for impairment, as described in note 3 (l). Negative goodwill carried in the financial statements as at 31 December 2007 was derecognised by crediting unappropriated retained earnings on 1 January 2008. Acquisitions on or after 1 January 2008 Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is tested for impairment as described in note 3 (l). Negative goodwill is recognised immediately in the statement of income.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries Other intangible assets Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group, which have finite useful lives, are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Other intangible assets are amortised in the statement of income on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are as follows: Software licences

(l)

years

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets’ recoverable amounts are estimated. For goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date, and as and when indicators of impairment are identified. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognised in the statement of income unless it reverses a previous revaluation credited to equity, in which case it is charged to equity. When a decline in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset has been recognised directly in equity and there is objective evidence that the value of the asset is impaired, the cumulative loss that had been recognised directly in equity is recognised in the statement of income even though the financial asset has not been derecognised. The amount of the cumulative loss that is recognised in the statement of income is the difference between the acquisition cost and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the statement of income.

Calculation of recoverable amount The recoverable amount of a non-financial asset is the greater of the asset’s value in use and fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate cash inflows largely independent of those from other assets, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Reversals of impairment An impairment loss in respect of a financial asset is reversed if the subsequent increase in recoverable amount can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. For financial assets carried at amortised cost and available-for-sale financial assets that are debt securities, the reversal is recognised in the statement of income. For available-for-sale financial assets that are equity securities, the reversal is recognised directly in equity. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. Impairment losses recognised in prior periods in respect of other non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.

(m)

Interest-bearing liabilities

Interest-bearing liabilities are recognised initially at fair value less attributable transaction charges. Subsequent to initial recognition, interestbearing liabilities are stated at amortised cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognised in the statement of income over the period of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.

(n)

Trade and other account payables

Trade and other account payables are stated at cost.

(o)

Employee benefits

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the statement of income as incurred.

(p)

Provisions

A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.

(q)

Revenue

Revenue excludes value added taxes and is arrived at after deduction of trade discounts.

Sale of goods and services rendered Revenue is recognised in the statement of income when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the buyer. No revenue is recognised if there is continuing management involvement with the goods or there are significant uncertainties regarding recovery of the consideration due, associated costs or the probable return of goods. Hotel revenues from rooms, food and beverage and other services are recognised when the rooms are occupied, food and beverage are sold and the services are rendered. Revenues from quick service restaurant business are recognised when food and beverage are sold to the customers.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Central Plaza Hotel Public Company Limited and its Subsidiaries Interest income and dividend income Interest income is recognised in the statement of income as it accrues. Dividend income is recognised in the statement of income on the date the Groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right to receive payments is established.

(r)

Deferred income

The Company and two subsidiaries recognise annual membership fees as income using the straight-line method over the term of membership. Certain subsidiaries recognise deferred rental and service income and subsidy as income using the straight-line method over the terms of the agreements.

(s)

Expenses

Operating leases Payments made under operating leases are recognised in the statement of income on a straight line basis over the term of the leases. Payments made under sub-lease agreement of Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok Hotel and sub-lease agreement of hotel land and building of Central World Hotel are recognised in the statement of income on a straight-line basis adjusted by constant compound growth rate. Lease incentives received are recognised in the statement of income as an integral part of the total lease payments made. Contingent rentals are charged to the statement of income for the accounting period in which they are incurred.

Finance costs Interest expenses and similar costs are charged to the statement of income in the period in which they are incurred, except to the extent that they are capitalised as being directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of an asset which necessarily takes a substantial period of time to be prepared for its intended use or sale.

(t)

Income tax

Income tax on the profit for the year is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.

Revaluation of assets In the third quarter of 2008, eight subsidiaries engaged an independent appraiser to appraise existing property and equipment as at 31 August 2008, which included property and equipment which were previously appraised. The subsidiaries recorded property and equipment at the new appraisal value according to the appraisal report dated 31 August 2008. The asset appraisal stated above, resulted in an increase in revaluation surplus of the Company and subsidiaries in consolidated balance sheet as at 31 August 2008 of approximately Baht 1,824 million. The revaluation surplus could not be used for dividend payment. Additionally, in the consolidated income statement, the Company and subsidiaries recorded net gain from appraisal and loss from impairment of asset of approximately Baht 3.1 million and Baht 15.2 million, respectively.

The Group adopted the alternative to comply with the cost method when revaluation is made. The effects of the above accounting treatment on the Group’s results for the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2009 were to increase the Group’s profit by Baht 50 million and Baht 54.9 million, respectively and increase in earnings per share by Baht 0.04 per share and Baht 0.04 per share, respectively.

Dividends At the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company held on 26 April 2010, the shareholders approved the appropriation of dividend of Baht 0.05 per share, amounting to Baht 67.5 million. The dividend was paid to shareholders during 2010. At the annual general meeting of shareholders of the Company held on 23 April 2009, the shareholders approved the appropriation of dividends of Baht 0.10 per share, amounting to Baht 135.0 million. The dividend was paid to shareholders during 2009.

29. Financial instruments Financial risk management policies The Group is exposed to normal business risks from changes in market interest rates and from non-performance of contractual obligations by counterparties. The Group does not issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Risk management is integral to the whole business of the Group. The Group has a system of controls in place to create an acceptable balance between the cost of risks occurring and the cost of managing the risks. The management continually monitors the Group’s risk management process to ensure that an appropriate balance between risk and control is achieved.

Capital management The Board’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. The Board monitors the return on capital, which the Group defines as result from operating activities divided by total shareholders’ equity, excluding non-controlling interest and also monitors the level of dividends to ordinary shareholders.

Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is the risk that future movements in market interest rates will affect the results of the Group’s operations and its cash flows. The Company’s exposure to interest rate risk relates primarily to its short-term loans from financial institutions and long-term loans. The Company does not use derivative financial instrument to hedge such risk.

Foreign currency risk The Group operates mainly in Baht currency. Accordingly, the Company does not have material foreign currency risk.

Credit risk Credit risk is the potential financial loss resulting from the failure of a customer or a counterparty to settle its financial and contractual obligations to the Group as and when they fall due. Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers requiring credit over a certain amount. At the balance sheet date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of each financial asset in the balance sheet.

Liquidity risk The Group monitors its liquidity risk and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate by management to finance the Group’s operations and to mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.

Determination of fair values A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. Fair values have been determined for measurement and/or disclosure purposes based on the following methods. When applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining fair values is disclosed in the notes specific to that asset or liability. The fair value of trade and other short-term receivables and trade payables is taken to approximate the carrying value. The fair value of non-derivative financial liabilities, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the reporting date.

Management has made a preliminary assessment of the potential initial impact of adoption these new TAS and TFRS in accordance with the FAPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s announcement. The adoption of these new standards shall have no material impact on the consolidated and separate financial statements in the period of initial application except for the following standards:

TAS 16(revised 2009) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Property, plant and equipment The principal changes introduced by the revised TAS 16 and affecting the Group/Company are that (i) costs of asset dismantlement, removal and restoration have to be included as asset costs and subject to annual depreciation; (ii) the depreciation charge has to be determined separately for each significant part of an asset; and (iii) in determining the depreciable amount, the residual value of an item of property, plant and equipment has to be measured at the amount estimated receivable currently for the asset if the asset were already of the age and in the condition expected at the end of its useful life. Furthermore, the residual value and useful life of an asset have to be reviewed at least at each financial year-end. The revised TAS 16 permits as a transitional provision that these changes may be introduced prospectively from the year of introduction. Management intends to adopt this transitional provision and accordingly the introduction of the revised TAS 16 from 1 January 2011 has no impact on the financial statements of 2010 or prior years. Management is currently reviewing the impact on the financial statements of introducing the revised TAS 16 from 1 January 2011.

TAS 19 - Employee benefits There is currently no Thai accounting standard covering employee benefits and the Group does not presently account for the costs of postemployment benefits under defined benefit plans; other long-term employee benefits; and termination benefits until such costs are incurred. The new TAS 19 includes the requirements to recognise and account for such costs in the period in which the service is performed. The requirements are complex and require actuarial assumptions to measure the obligation and expense. Moreover, the obligations are measured on a discounted basis because they may be settled many years after the employees render the related service. The transitional provisions of TAS 19 permit the transitional liability to be recognised and accounted for in one of four different ways: (i) retrospectively; (ii) immediately in equity (retained earnings) at the transition date; (iii) immediately in profit or loss at the transition date; (iv) as an expense on a straight-line basis over up to five years from the transition date. Management has determined that the transitional liability as at 1 January 2011 for post-employment benefits is approximately Baht 142.5 million for the Group and Baht 49.9 million for the Company, which results in decrease in retained earnings of approximately Baht 142.5 million for the Group and Baht 49.9 million for the Company. Management intends to adopt transitional provision to adjust immediately in equity (retained earnings) at the transition date for this liability.

TAS 40 (revised 2009) - Investment Property TAS 40 (revised 2009) prescribes the accounting and disclosure requirements for investment properties. Under TAS 40 (revised 2009), an entity is required to account for the investment property separately in the statement of financial position (balance sheet). The entity may choose to measure the investment property either at cost with respective disclosure of the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair value in the notes to financial statements (cost model), or at fair value with changes in values recognized directly in profit or loss (fair value model). The management expects that the Group/Company will account for its investment properties using cost model from the date TAS 40 (revised 2009) becomes effectively.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Analysis and Explanation of the Financial Status and Operating Results

OPERATING RESULTS

OVERVIEW For the full year (FY) 2010 period, the Company and its Subsidiaries achieved total revenues of Baht 9,399.9 million – an increase of Baht 963.8 million or 11.4% Year-On-Year (YoY), comprising of a 4.4% YoY increase in total Hotels Business Group revenues together with a 15.4% YoY increase in total Food Business Group revenues. The Company and its Subsidiaries recorded Earnings before depreciation & amortization, interest expenses and income tax (EBITDA) totaling Baht 1,668.7 million – an increase of Baht 223.8 million or 15.5% YoY. However, the Company and its Subsidiaries had a Net Loss of Baht 51.1 million – a decrease of Baht 104.2 million or 196.2% when compared to FY/2009. In 2010, the Group’s Hotels Business operations was negatively affected by political demonstrations around the Rachaprasong intersection during April to May, by the global economic crisis as well as by various natural disasters which occurred all over the world - all of which resulted in cancellation of bookings and a decline in tourist arrivals. During the year, the Group added a new property in Phuket, namely the Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket (CPBR), a 262-rooms five-star resort hotel located on a Phuket beach, which started partial operations in November 2010. Additionally the Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya (CMBR), which was officially opened in November 2009, completed its first full year of operations, achieving an overall satisfactory occupancy rate that exceeded expectations. As a result, total Hotels Business Group revenues showed an increase from the previous year. The Food Business Group also achieved very satisfactory performance results - both in increasing its revenues (by Baht 700.0 million or 15.4% YoY) and in expanding its network by 33 outlets. During the year, the Central Restaurants Group (CRG) also launched 3 new brands in March; namely, “Chabuton Ramen” , “Cold Stone Creamery”, and “Ryu Shabu Shabu” but discontinued the Pizza Hut business. Thus, total Food Business Group revenues also showed an increase from the previous year. In terms of profits, the adverse economic and political situation together with the various natural disasters that resulted in a decline in revenues and profit for the existing hotels - especifically the political demonstrations around Rachaprasong intersection during April to May, causing a significant decrease in revenues due to cancellations in guests bookings as well as of scheduled events and meetings during that period. Additionally, the various natural disasters including floods in Hat Yai and Samui as well as the prolonged snowstorm in Europe are another main reason impacting and causing a sharp decrease in hotel and tourism businesses. As a consequence, total Hotels Business Group revenues was lower than it should have been or was expected, while the Company still had overhead costs and expenses a major part of which being fixed costs. Therefore, the overall FY/2010 performance of the Company resulted in net loss. A detailed analysis for the FY/2010 consolidated operating results of the Company and its Subsidiaries is as follows:

•

The Sofitel Centara Grand Resort and Villas Hua-Hin also saw a decrease in revenues by Baht 14.9 million or 2.8% YoY, with the main reason being again the uncertain Thai political environment as well as the snowstorms in Europe, which lead to a decline in tourist ar rivals from Europe (the main source market for its customers).

* Note: Costs of Sales EXCLUDES depreciation and amortization that are allocated as costs of sales Hotel Business: Total cost of sales for the Hotels Business was Baht 1,664.6 million - consisting of all direct costs (such as costs relating to rooms services; cost of goods for food & beverage; salaries, wages and benefits of all associated staff; and consumables costs) - thus, achieving a gross profit margin of 57.2% of total Hotels Business sales (compared to 58.6% for the year 2009). This decrease in gross profit margin when compared to last year was mainly due to a decline in revenues - especially for the Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre, Central World as mentioned above; while some costs of sales were fixed expenses (ie:a major item being salaries, wages and staff benefits). Food Business: Total cost of sales for the Food Business was Baht 2,470.0 million - consisting of all direct costs such as cost of goods for food & beverage; salaries, wages and benefits of all associated staff; and consumables costs – thus, achieving a gross profit margin 52.9% of total sales Food Business sales which is an increase from the 51.8% GP margin for the year 2009. This increase in gross profit margin was mainly due to a reduction in major raw materials prices as well as from continuing effective costs & expense control and management (eg: many materials used are sourced from domestic rather than imported suppliers, modification of packaging, reduction in non-essential materials, etc.). Further, the discontinuation of Baskin Robbins during the year resulted in some decrease in selling and allocated administrative expenses when compared to the same period of last year. SELLING, GENERAL & ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses (consisting of staff salaries and benefits, hotel management fees, rents, credit card usage costs, trademark franchise fees) for the Company and its Subsidiaries during 2010 totaled Baht 3,588.8 million – an increase of Baht 317.4 million or 9.7% YoY, with these SG&A expenses being equal to 38.2% of total revenues for the year – compared to 38.7% for 2009. The decrease in SG&A expenses as a percentage of total revenues was mainly due to the Food Business having generated more sales during this year, while most of these expenses are fixed costs (eg: salaries, wages and staff benefits, rental fees etc.). DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization costs during 2010 totaled Baht 1,225.8 million - an increase of Baht 238.7 million or 24.2% YoY; which is equal to 13.0% of total revenues (FY/2009: 11.7%). This significant increase in depreciation expenses compared to last year is due to the additional depreciation expenses from the new Centara Grand Mirage Beach Resort Pattaya (fully operational since November 2009) as well as from the new Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket, which had its soft opening in November 2010. EARNINGS BEFORE DEPRECIATION & AMORTIZATION, INTEREST EXPENSES AND INCOME TAX (EBITDA) AND NET PROFIT During 2010, the Company and its Subsidiaries achieved an EBITDA of Baht 1,668.7 million – an increase of Baht 223.8 million or 15.5% YoY; which is equal to 17.8% of total revenues, being an increase from the 17.1% for the previous year primarily because of the following factors : •

Hotel Business: EBITDA for this business group decreased by approximately 19.4% YoY caused mainly by a decline in revenues, especially relating to o The Centara Grand and Bangkok Convention Centre, Central World that suffered from the political demonstrations around Rachaprasong intersection during April to May 2010. o The Sofitel Centara Grand Bangkok that closed some guest rooms and restaurants for major renovation work. o The Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket (CPBR) that was partially opened in November 2010, while recorded pre-opening expenses and operations losses (before depreciation) totaling approximately Baht 63.6 million. Nevertheless, CPBR performance is expected to im prove and meet its target after the grand opening later in 2011. o The Centara Grand Island Resort & Spa Maldives (associated company, with the Group holding 25% equity) started operations since the beginning of November 2009; and during the year, the Company recognized a share of the net loss from its investment in the above associated company of Baht 60.7 million.

•

Food Business: EBITDA for this business group increased by approximately 50.2% YOY, primarily driven by significant increased revenues as explain above and especially because of the outstanding performance in Q4/10. Additionally, discontinuing the Pizza Hut and Baskin Robbins during the year resulted in reduced selling and administrative expenses leading to increased Net Profit when compared to the same period last year.

In terms of Net Profit for FY/2010, the Company and its Subsidiaries recorded a Net Loss from normal operations of Baht 25.9 million – a decrease of Baht 181.7 million or 116.6% Y0Y for the reasons mentioned above. Further, after taking into account those extra-ordinary items (as detailed in the first table above), the Company and its Subsidiaries recorded a total Net Loss of Baht 51.1 million - a decrease of Baht 104.2 million (or 196.2% YoY) when compared to FY/2009. As the current economic environment and political situation has improved this year, the Group expects that •

the Hotel Business will recover. Nevertheless, the Group has plans to increase total revenues by expanding its managed-hotels portfolio, to which, since early this year, the Company has successfully added more than 10 new properties both in Thailand and overseas. Additionally, the Group has also implemented various measures to reduce costs and expenses - such as price negotiations with suppliers, utilities costs savings, and continuing effective costs & expenses management and control.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Risk Factors Risks relating to the loss of partial revenues derived from franchised business operations The Company and its Subsidiaries operates some of its hotels as well as all of its QSR/Foods Service Business under the franchised system (in agreement with overseas “Franchisors”) whereby the various franchise agreements contain differing terms & conditions and franchise periods. When these various franchise agreements reach their expiry dates, if the “Franchisors” do not wish to renew their respective franchise agreements or if they agree to renew them under terms & conditions that may not be to the best benefit for the Company and its Subsidiaries – such as increasing the initial fee payment for any new QSR outlets to be launched or significantly increasing the “percentage of revenues” payable to the Franchisor, then there is a risk that the Company will be affected by the loss (either totally or partially) of revenues derived from those Hotels as well as QSR/Foods Services businesses being operated under the franchised system. Nevertheless, the Company attaches great importance to always maintaining close and good relations with all our “Franchisors”, as well as is prepared to always start negotiating the renewal of any franchise agreement well in advance of their respective expiry dates; whereby in the past our Subsidiaries have been successful in renewing several of our franchise agreements – due to our sustained and close cooperation with our overseas “Franchisors” for many years and because of our well-regarded and extensive experience in successfully managing our franchised operations.

Risks relating to the loss of partial revenues derived from the QSR/Foods Business operations due to renewed space rental agreements Most of the QSR/Foods Services outlets operated by the Subsidiaries – either in the form of full retail outlets or kiosks – are rented spaces located within commercial malls or department stores complexes under rental agreements that involve specific terms & conditions as well as rental periods. In the event that when such rental agreements reach their expiry dates and the Subsidiaries are not allowed to renew the rental agreements for those spaces with high commercial potential or if the renters agree only to renew these agreements under terms & conditions that may not be to the best benefit for the Company – such as significantly increasing the rental charges payable, or the Company has to pay more for the right to continue renting the spaces involved or for the costs of registering such rental agreements, then there is a risk that the Company will be affected by the loss (either totally or partially) in revenues derived from those QSR/Foods Services outlets that are located on such rented space. Nevertheless, all these retail outlets currently being rented by the Subsidiaries have varying rental periods as well as differing start and expiry dates, which, in itself is a way to spread out the abovementioned risks. At the same time, the Company is constantly expanding its retail outlets network in new locations, and has always attached great importance to negotiating the renewal of rental agreements for those spaces that give a satisfactory level of return on investments as well as always start to negotiate any rental agreements renewal well in advance of their respective expiry dates. Moreover, in that the Subsidiaries have, in its portfolio leading QSR/Foods Services brands that are very popular and well-accepted by the consumers, thus they are very attractive to the buying consumers, which is a key success factor for operators of commercial malls and Department stores. Additionally, all the Subsidiaries combined rent a considerable amount of space in total for use as retail outlets for our 10 leading QSR/Foods Service brands; as such this enables the Company to receive special recognition and priority status in negotiating any rental agreement renewals with those responsible for managing the rental of space within commercial malls or Department stores complexes.

Risks relating to the loss of partial revenues due to competitive activities The core activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries are the Hotels Business and the QSR/Foods Service Business, both of which have always been very competitive businesses due to there being many players in both market sectors as well as to the constant development and growth of these players. Nevertheless, in that the Company and its Subsidiaries has always been well - aware of the very competitive business environments, we have constantly attached great importance to the training and development of our staff as well as to the standards of services quality needed – especially in the QSR/Foods Services Business. The Company and its Subsidiaries is constantly developing new products and menu offerings. Based on the extensive experience of our management team, locations of our businesses, and the leading reputation of our Hotels as well as QSR/Foods Services brand concepts that are well-accepted by the consumers, we are confident that the Company and its Subsidiaries have the potential and is well - positioned to effectively compete with other operators in these 2 market sectors.

Risks relating to our operations due to economic situation or external factors The Hotels Business is a sector that is vulnerable to various possible external factors that are often beyond the direct control of the operators – especially political instabilities of Thailand, global natural disaster and global economic depression. In the events that any of such external events occur, there could be a significant negative impact for local as well as overseas tourists’ deciding to travel or not. However, in that the Company and its Subsidiaries have hotel properties spread out over various locations and in key Regional destinations through out Thailand and oversea including the focus of expanding its managed-hotels portfolio in Thailand and oversea. In addition, we have extensive experience in effective costs management and extend hotel management contracts together with the ability to adjust our operations according to the prevailing market conditions as well as close cooperation with our strategic business partners (e.g. airlines and tour agencies), we are confident that we would be able to minimize the potential impact from such external factors. Additionally, the Foods Services Business is vulnerable to being affected by the spread of diseases – e.g. the Avian or Bird Flu that has occurred since early 2004 and that initially affected the Company’s sales. But, once the consumers are correctly informed of the situation, the negative effects decreased. However, in that the Subsidiaries’ QSR/Foods Services Business consists of 10 differing food brand concepts and has a widespread network of retail outlets, we believe that the potential impact from such an external factor can be reduced accordingly.

ANNUAL REPORT 2010

Risks relating to the need to comply with specific requirements associated with the authorised issue of debentures and long term loans commitments Within the guidelines for the authorised issue of debentures of the Company, and within the framework of the long term loan agreement of Company and its Subsidiaries, it is required that the Company must maintain a Interest-bearing debts to Equity Ratio of not more than 2:1 (taking into account of the consolidated accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries). As at December 31, 2010, the Company and its Subsidiaries have consolidated Interest-bearing debts to Equity ratio of 1.55 times.

Risks relating to foreign exchange rates fluctuations The Company and its Subsidiaries have revenues that are denominated in foreign currencies received from overseas travelers. The Company sets its rooms rates based on the assessment of the foreign currency exchange rates to be established from year to year as well as by factoring in a certain additional percentage to cover any future exchange rates fluctuations. Additionally, the Company also has expenses that are paid out in foreign currencies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; e.g.: initial fees payable for new retail outlets of the franchised QSR/Foods Services Business as well as the costs of any foods products required to be imported from overseas. However, in the past, as both the revenues and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies in total account only for a small percentage of the overall revenues or expenses of the Company and its Subsidiaries and is at a level that would not be significantly affected by any exchange rates fluctuations, therefore the Company and its Subsidiaries do not see a critical need to purchase any forward foreign currency exchange cover contracts as a hedge against any possible foreign exchange risks.

Risks relating to financial structure As at December 31, 2010 the Company and its Subsidiaries have total debt commitments in the form of bank overdraft and short â&#x20AC;&#x201C;term loans facilities as well as short and long term loans of Baht 3,073.7 million and Baht 6,379.1 million respectively. The Company and its Subsidiaries have credit lines of project loan to support short-term loan. Risks relating to fluctuation of interest rate As at December 31, 2010 the Company and Subsidiaries have total short term and long term loan from financial institutions amount of baht 9,452.8 million or 65% of total liabilities. The mostly of interest are floating rate. Incase of interest fluctuate over or lower 0.25%, will effect to financial cost by increase or decrease in interest expense approximately amount of baht 20 million per annum.

Connected Transactions

SUMMARY OF CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES WITH OTHER PARTIES WHO MAY HAVE POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTERESTS As of December 31, 2010 the Company and its Subsidiaries undertook various “connected” transactions with related companies and/ or other parties who may have potential conflict of interests, whereby these are considered normal commercial transactions and have been approved as “connected transactions” within the normal operational authorization procedures of the Company. Details are as shown on the attached document.

PROCEDURES AND PROCESSES IN APPROVING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS As a listed company on the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) since 1990 (BE 2533), we have always been appreciative and aware of the need for full and transparent disclosure of any information as well as activities regarding any connected transactions. Therefore, at the 74th meeting of the Audit Committee (1/2011) on February 14th, 2011 the Audit Committee was informed of all the connected transactions that took place during 2010, where by the Committee reviewed the necessity as well as reasonableness of these transactions and was of the opinion that all such transactions were reasonable and appropriate in every respect. As for any connected transactions that may take place in the future, the Company has instructed that the Audit Committee undertake a review and approve all such transactions, which must be undertaken only as necessary and with all reasonableness, whereby any payments received from or o related parties must be accordance with standard market practices as well as must be equitable to all parties concerned and fully transparent.

POLICIES AND GUIDELINES FOR UNDERTAKING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS The Company has a policy to undertake commercial transactions with related parties who may be a potential conflict of interest that are only part of the normal business activities of the Company, whereby it is required that all such transactions be undertaken within normal accepted business practices and at commercial terms that are no different than those transactions undertaken with outside third parties. At the Board Meeting (No 4/2003) on November 13, 2003 the Company established specific policies and procedures for the approval of such connected transactions, whereby the must follow the normal approval process as used for any other business transactions – except that those Directors or Executives who themselves (or who are related to those who) are involved in the transaction being considered for approval must not approve such transactions Further, in the event that such the transaction comes up for consideration, full disclosure of their involvement must be made to the Board for review; and such Directors or Executives will have no right to exercise their approval accordingly. The Board must also comply with all the legal requirements of the Securities Laws and the SET as well as with the regulations, announcements and instructions or procedures of SET. Thus, in undertaking a connected transaction by the Company with a party who may have a potential conflict of interest or who may have some other vested or possible conflict of interest in the future, then the Company requires that the Audit Committee must give its opinion as to the necessity and appropriateness of such transaction. Should the Audit Committee not have the specific expertise in reviewing any such possible connect transaction, then the Audit Committee must get an independent expert or the external auditor of the Company to give their opinion that transaction, which will then be used as part of the decision process (of the Audit Committee or the Shareholders) in approving that connected transaction accordingly. Further, in disclosing a connected transaction the Company must comply with all the legal requirements of the Securities Laws and the SET as well as with the regulations, announcements and instructions or procedures of the SET together with the required general accounting practices with regards to the disclosure of details concerning any related parties or businesses.
